Twilight 2000 4E nuclear targets map

Your conclusion that it would not be spared sir.

I'm less discussing the strategic facilities and more the "let's not make the whole straits a high-rad zone if we don't need to" idea.

I frankly don't believe such a military base will be left unnuked, seeing other targets...

How long will it be a high-rad zone? and this will hardly affect the Russian fleet. As Condotiere said, it was not powerful in the Mediterranean, and its submarines would not be so affected...

At the least, they'd have hit the McDonnel Douglas facilities at LGB airport! (Later Boeing, since mostly demolished and replaced by office parks and retail. Relativity Space was using one of the last remaining hangars.)

And yes, the USN had a presence at LA/Long Beach in the 80s.

Yes, as a kid we used to go down and watch the ships going in and out. Long Beach and the port are very different today then back in the 70's for sure.

And those are fair counterpoints. Just offering my food for thought - which is part of the fun exercise of revisiting such game/timeframes and doing the "what if?" options.

Used to go race there at BRP.

Thread 'Thoughts on Twilight 2000'

Apr 13, 2018

I have been spending some time looking again at Twilight 2000, including buying three of the online modules at DriveThru: Gateway to the Spanish Main, Korean Peninsula Sourcebook, and the East African Sourcebook. I bought the module Gateway to the Spanish Main when it came out and then bought Twilight 2000 to see how it worked. I am a sucker for ships, including sailing ships. (See my Horatio Hornblower collection along with others.)

In looking at some of the other modules, I keep thinking that there was some wishful thinking when it came to nuclear weapon targets, primarily New London...
